Let me go a step further. What I think is really significant on that, when I think of my children in the same spot that we were a few years back where our kids are growing up and have a family, are married, have got 3 kids in their household, just think what it would mean if we could leave $580 a month in that household, instead of Washington confiscating that money out of their paychecks, bringing it out here to Washington, and dispensing it to whoever gets the interest on all of these notes. Make sure we understand, there are people getting the interest back on these notes. Would it not be great if a generation from now a family of 5 was not required to pay that $580 a month out here to Washington. What a great gift we would be giving to the next generation of Americans.

I get excited when we get to this point, because all of a sudden we begin to understand that we are no longer in 1993, whining and crying that we cannot do anything other than raise taxes on the American people to solve government…
